    I know the Seven Sins are ranked higher than the Parasite Queen but due to causality and the divine authorities at play, there was a chance of getting infected by her like the Chief Deity. They have said multiple times that they will not risk their divinities towards the Goddess of Parasitism.
    The Chief Deity could have finished her off but he got greedy with the rank up and got infected then devoured.
    Yeah, it was in the prologue or early chapters when Seraph also asked him if he truly wanted to rewind time.
    No, because each heaven-rank difference is greater than the previous rank. Imagine a weakened heaven-rank 7.5 PQ being afraid of some heaven-rank 4 or 5s? That is utterly laughable~

    Basing on this, that means Chief Deity is lower than PQ's last rank (7.5). It makes zero sense for a divinity to produce a lower rank for someone who already has divinity. So CD is 7 below.
    Benchmarking at 7, that means the Seven Sins are either 6 or 5.

    Close enough, I guess?


    edit: HYUN SANGMIIIIIIIIIIN! At least give a heads up that you survived Nur, dammit!!

    Yeah it's got some dark undertones the further you go along. Without spoiling anything, let's just say, don't worry. It all gets better in a very satisfactory way.

    The Seven Sins are counters to the Seven Virtues, right? Based on the previous dialogue between Arcus and Gula's apostles killing each other before the invasion of the Parasite Queen. The Chief Deity of Paradise is rank higher than the Seven Virtues, and the Parasite Queen is ranked slightly higher than the Chief Deity.

    PQ Heaven-rank 7.5
    CD Heaven-rank 7?
    SS & SV Heaven-rank 6+?
    Seol is Heaven-rank 5+ as the Divine Spear, or 6 as God Spear, and certainly Heaven-rank 8 as Artisan of Infinity.

    Yeah, kind of hard to blame the present Martial God. He looks and acts so different from the early chapters of MEMORIZE.
    I wouldn't mind reading another sequel set in the duology, since Zero Code did say Martial God needs "darkness" from Chaos in case for emergencies.

    Seol really could have defeated the PQ with his noodles alone, wew.

    The problem I have with the set of side stories related to MG is that all the hardships Seol had during the whole story feel pathetic in comparison to the beings for whom PQ is nothing but a peddle. And these beings are casually strolling around Earth.

    Yep. That's reality in most shared universes.

    The MC of TGR looked cute too in front of Xiao Yan. (BTTH)

    Those Lovecraft's gods lol
    Now that the crossover/ramen arc is over, i think it was decent except for those 2 chapters that made me uninterested while reading them (pretty sure MEMORIZE readers enjoyed this crossover way more overall).

    There is always a bigger fish. Jihu was the hero of his own story and there is nothing wrong with his story not being as epic as the Martial God's.

    I hope that bigger fish will be left behind in its own pond.

    Ayyy. I think can't put mini-spoilers on this upcoming "arc". This is too big for me to spoil.

    But you know what? At the end of SS17 I admit I was excited (not sexually, but with the fun incoming)

    edit: ahhh at least this would do..
    Seol Jihu inwardly cursed the person who named his kids with such obvious names.

    Me: it's probably you, no?

    I actually don't think that one is that bad. A Rank 10 God having more power than the Rank 7 Chief Deity? It really just makes sense. Its kind of an excuse to do more ridiculous things, but eh its fine.

    But Sora's neighbor recording them is kind of a dick move. Like I can understand you're annoyed for not getting any sleep, but still that's a bit ridiculous.

    He basically got the infinite amount of contribution point, ability to revive Paradise gods, bending laws of causality etc. just for a bowl of ramen - something MC went for 400+ chapters, dying, reviving, sacrificing...I know it is done for a comic relief, but c'mon.
