Lucien was speechless. He was just bragging.
That the other priests including Nena believed in his words was not surprising, for they had no idea what the truth was; however, Lucien could not believe that Ell himself had also been persuaded by the lecture.
In Lucien's understanding, his lecture should be like a joke to Ell.
He tried hard to accept Ell's change, telling himself that Ell was one of the false gods who were stubborn and crazy according to the Congress' record and that the proper treatment for these false gods should be electrotherapy. However, Lucien still could not understand what happened to Ell.
Lucien wondered if Ell had even actually become more powerful.
It was not scientific, no, not arcanic to Lucien at all. Fortunately, he was more or less mentally prepared for any unusual changes within the divine realm. Calming himself down, he started observing Ell's reaction and taking down detailed notes in his spiritual library.
