I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Lord David, if deities approach, are you able to detect their presence?"

On the way to Warrengle, Anno and David had a conversation.

Upon hearing Anno's question, David replied, "Do you know why the God Hunters have the word 'Hunter' in their name?"

Anno frowned and shook his head.

"When a hunter begins a hunt, he can analyze subtle differences in the surrounding environment to locate the prey, then track and kill it!"

David explained, "The same goes for the God Hunters."

We will cultivate a special skill that allows us to track the divine aura of gods; the stronger we are, the wider our range of perception becomes!

When a deity descends into a plane in its true form, it creates a great commotion and cannot conceal its divine aura.

At this time, hunters within a radius of thousands of kilometers can usually sense it.

Of course, if the god hunters fail to arrive in time, and the descending deity hides its divine aura, the task of hunting down the prey will become quite difficult.

This is the situation we are in now. There are many god-like creatures on Ungomulos, but they are hiding.

However, as long as the distance between the deity and the god hunter is close enough—for example, within a range of several kilometers—even if the deity conceals their divine aura, the god hunter can still sense it.

Alternatively, if a deity cannot resist using its power, its divine aura will dissipate and be instantly detected by god hunters within hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.

Of course, if a deity enters Un'Golmud or appears near us in a physical body as a "Godwalker," we can track them by sensing the power of faith!

"The moment they descend using their physical bodies, and later when they unleash their divinity, are both times when they reveal their true nature."

The points David made are basically consistent with Anno's experience.

Anno was shocked when he heard that the God Hunters could sense the power of faith.

He used the power of faith several times within the realm.

The [Blood Moon Strike] and [Moonlight Healing] of the Evil King's Domain, and the [Death Perception Ray] of the Death Perception Domain, all require the power of faith to use.

Back in the Roland Empire, Anno used the [Death Perception Ray] to kill a ninth-tier god who had been severely injured by the Sword Saint.

However, David didn't seem to mention Anno at this time, most likely because he didn't know that Anno possessed the power of faith.

This puzzled Anno a little.

Later, when Anno was fighting the undead legion, he used the [Death Perception Ray] again, but David and the hunters in the city still did not show any abnormalities.

Therefore, Anno deduced that the use of faith power within the domain would be imperceptible to those outside.

Previously, when using the power of faith in front of the Sword Saint, the God Hunter did not notice due to other reasons.

Anno didn't know the specific reason.

However, Anno believes that the problem most likely lies with the Sword Saint.

......

Let's move on to the present.

Just as Anno received news from Tester that academies across the country were about to start their new semester and wanted him to attend the opening ceremony, David came over and informed Anno that the "Walker" had appeared around Warrengel.

"So fast?"

Anno's face lit up with joy.

It seems that yesterday's battle has had an effect.

The appearance of one Swift Walker means that there is a possibility that more Swift Walkers will appear in the future.

"Actually, some deities descended into the body a long time ago."

The bodies used by gods nowadays are mostly high-level, meaning they are at the peak of the ninth rank upon landing; otherwise, it would just be a waste of faith power.

The ninth-tier Divine Walker caused a great commotion.

David and his group sensed it from a great distance.

"However, we were busy cleaning up the true gods who had descended to the mainland at the time, so we didn't deal with those Godwalkers for the time being."

But just now, a fluctuation of faith power appeared in the mountains a few kilometers away from Warrengel.

If I'm not mistaken, they must have deliberately exposed themselves!

"Active exposure?"

Anno frowned and asked, "Could it be that they're trying to test whether there are any God Hunters inside Warrengel?"

"Their specific purpose is unclear, but with only one Swiftwalker, it would be a huge loss for us to expose ourselves!"

David said, "We'll only act as a last resort. Until then, we hope you can hold out as long as possible and not expose us prematurely!"
