Spoiler Latest Chapter Discussion Thread for Death Mage Raws

Make me remember " the charm of 3rd time".

 

Three is a holy number anywhere lol.

 

True, 3 God 3 Goddess 3 Demi Gods . Neutral gender 2. Even in Lambda number 3 also quite interesting , not mention Ricklent the genie of time have form 3 women or 3 men. It shame Zuruwarm have four head bot three.

 

If Van become God , van defintely join with the neutral gender after all he mistaken as Goddess by believer of all goddess princess knight of archam

 

Not always holy, per se. It is extremely common, though. That might be because 3 is the first odd prime number and the first odd number that isn't boring. 5 and 7 work too, but 3 is much easier to use. (I personally like to use 5 or 7 because it's less common. Besides, I like those numbers more anyway.)

The simplest polygon has 3 sides and 3 angles. There are 3 Fates. In fairy tales and the like, there are typically 3 challenges before the protagonist reaches his goal, or his most difficult trial takes 3 tries. Fire, ice, lightning. The list goes on, and I couldn't possibly cover them all.

Death Mage uses 4 as a symbol of death or closure, so there is an emphasis on Van's 3rd time in the sense that his 4th would be the end of him. Looking at it a different way, 3rd time is the charm. Van is one of those protagonists who is given only 3 chances to get something right, and succeeds on his final try.

IIRC, Zuruwarn's heads represent the 4 cardinal directions. He is, after all, the God of Space and Creation.

 

Weird there no one that post something

 

right now you just did it

 

We need a theory to run on... anyone? Anything?

edit

has anyone in death mage mastered the secret art of attacking someone when they're standing still?

 

Isn't an army of undead the perfect force for banda/Mei to play with

 

Does moving in spirit form count?

Yes.

 

No, there's another factor where being interracial with different life-spans makes the age gap mean a whole lot less. If, say, a 50 year old elf was in a relationship with a 13 year old human, that's an age gap of 37 years. However, a 50 year old elf happens to look like a 14 year old human, and also has the mental equivalent there of. That being the case, an age-gap is actually desirable if they are different races. If anything, it's Van that's too young to be in a relationship with Urd by the interracial dating standards that would stem from this situation.

EDIT: It's likely normal in a world like this to arrange a marriage young, even as young as Urd is, among nobility. However, this is under the assumption that the individuals arranged to marry will grow older and be at a correct age for each other by the world's standards. In the case of Van and Urd though, Urd would probably be 50 by the time Van hits puberty.

(I'm still rooting for the scenario of Urd getting into a relationship with Van's step brother, AKA Zod's adopted son, because this falls into line with the scenario I REALLY want to see which is Zod and Darcia getting together and Zod becoming Van's step father. Step brother to the emperor is exactly the sort of political station a political marriage would be arranged with.)

DOUBLE EDIT: Also, there are already too many girls in Van's harem, he does NOT need more. I'm a lot more interested at this point in seeing relationships set up around him than with him so far as that goes.

No, I don't think Van became a demigod because he gamed the system. Heinz is already as powerful as Van was when he gained the demigod skill in terms of raw stats. No, I am pretty sure the reason Van became a demigod is because people were praying to him as a god. This has literally been happening since he was 3 years old, he had people already treating him as their god. It's just that it's taken this long for the number of people treating him as a god already to pass the necessary threshold to promote him to godhood status.

Also, the demiurge job acted as a catalyst. The requirement to receive that job though likely had to do with people praying to him. It is worth mentioning that he got the demiurge job as a result of the divine protection of Earth's god. Earth's god is a god created by people, unlike Lamba's gods. So, that's likely another factor. Adding the divine protection of Earth's gods allowed Van to gain godhood in the same manner that creates gods on Earth (and Origin.)

EDIT: So, to use the proper scientific terms, the "substrates" (the things needed to create a catalytic reaction) are the god of Earth's divine protection, and people praying to him and treating him as a god. The catalyst is the skills system and the demiurge job. The product is Van becoming a demigod.

 

Ugh did heinz become demi god ?

 

Nope

 

But Jemini write this

 

And here we have the context for him saying that.

 

Huh but it just confussing, thank you though ,

 

Basically, I brought up Heinz here because how strong Heinz is serves as specific counter-evidence to the idea that Van became a demigod because he just got really strong. The entire thing was about saying how strength alone was not enough to become a demigod. That point would mean nothing if Heinz was a demigod. The point is, if strength alone was enough, Heinz would also be a demigod by now. Since he isn't, that means the theory of it just being because of strength goes down the drain.

 

Thank you for clarification

 

Anyone has any theory what could be further upgrade of soul devour and god devourer skills ? at first stage those skills were about destroying soul/gods, at second stage those skills are about consumption of soul/gods so what could be stage above consumption....

 

I imagine that it'll evolve once he learns to create souls or something so it can become "soul farmer" or something.
