Rites

God-Hunting

The ritual's elegance lies in its simplicity - lure the greedy god into the vessel, block escape with darkness, counter resistance with mirrors, then slice open the vessel to release divine essence - no different from butchering livestock.

The Stars Shimmer
As [s3.name] chants the ancient invocation, arcane energy surges into [s2.name], bathing it in ethereal radiance.

The stars above twinkle with curiosity - after countless years, someone once again calls to the ancient star spirits. [s3.gender] summons the most powerful yet long-forgotten Highlord!

First arrives the caressing wind, followed by the trembling North Star.

Finally, cosmic darkness pierces the veil between realms, starlight transforming into luminous arrows that illuminate [s2.name], infusing it with the Highlord's essence from within.
They Detect the Trap
Before [s4.name] can summon clouds to obscure the stars, tiny celestial lights above chirp urgently - Great Highlord, beware deception! Their light strikes your eyes and faces like needles, disrupting the ritual while the glowing liquid - having barely formed a tiny humanoid - rises upward, breaches your ritual circle, and vanishes into the night.

They Detect the Trap
Before [s4.name] can summon clouds to obscure the stars, tiny celestial lights above chirp urgently - Great Highlord, beware deception! Their light strikes your eyes and faces like needles, disrupting the ritual while [s2.name] releases a pitiful shriek. [s2.gender(his,her)] body begins to glow and expand into a glass-like humanoid, overturning everyone nearby before rising into the whirling winds and vanishing into the night.

Action:

Silent Witnesses
[s2.name] begins expanding and glowing, transforming into semi-transparent glass. The Highlord enters this new body, confused yet eager, while the tiny stars above witness the butcher's knife lurking behind Him. They desperately attempt warning their elder sibling, but [s4.name]'s summoned clouds obscure them - such is the fate of star spirits bewitched by the mortal realm.

Conditions:

Blind Divinity
The luminous Star attempts to summon powers - wind, starlight, darkness - all severed by your ritual. They begin desperate flickering and shrieking, intent on shredding your sacrilegious souls with Their madness.

At the critical moment, [s5.name] raises the mirror, forcing the god to confront Their ugliness - the decayed form poisoned by human desires. Their sorrow, lamentation, and curses all reflect back upon Himself.

Conditions:

Crimson Marks
The luminous Highlord attempts to summon powers - wind, starlight, darkness - all severed by your ritual. They begin desperate flickering and shrieking, intent on shredding your sacrilegious souls with Their madness.

Only now do you understand - this god, poisoned by human desires, once absorbed too much to return to Their realm yet remains too hungry to fully manifest in the mortal world. The collective desires and thoughts crawl beneath your skin like venomous insects, sharing the god's suffering - but the ritual hasn't failed! Hold fast!

Conditions:

Result:

Divine Sacrifice
[s6.name] skewered through the just-puffed, baby-sized Highlord, [s6.gender]'s move was precise and deadly, like filleting a fish flawlessly, without a scale hindering the blade, nor giving the prey undue pain. This between-real-and-mirage Body shriveled away; every deity must know this cost — becoming mortal, they lose immortality, can be killed, just as any life can die.

Conditions:

Action:

Bloodletting
[s6.name] cut [s2.name]'s throat precisely, the smooth wound, the divine power just infused into [s2.gender]'s Body flows as azure Aether... All deities must know this cost — becoming mortal, they lose immortality, can die, just like most life dies, died insignificantly.

Conditions:

Action:

Meaningless Violence
The sacred incarnation Ritual caused [s6.name] panic. [s6.gender]'s knife-hand trembled, the first stab missed the vital point, then the Highlord's struggle forced [s6.gender] to thrust repeatedly... The Highlord perished, but divine power dissipated in such struggle... All deities must know this cost — becoming mortal, they lose immortality, will die, as most life dies, meaningless and in vain.

Conditions:

Action:

Channel Only
As the final drop of divine blood drains, you swiftly pour Water of Life into [s2.name]'s open throat. Thanks to the perfect incision, flesh heals flawlessly - the god's remarkable journey through this vessel bestows [s2.gender(him,her)] with special gifts.

Conditions:

Result:

One-Time Channel
As the final drop of divine blood drains, [s2.name]'s throat remains open - we knew from the beginning [s2.gender(he,she)] wouldn't survive, didn't we? At least [s2.gender] completed their purpose.

You break a Sultan Card in an extremely unclean moment
You've murdered a god... the Sultan's Game witnesses this achievement. As the card snaps, through the messy stains, you glimpse an exalted vision - a crown destined for the King of Kings, the world-ruling God. In ancient times, a god was judged evil and banished for unauthorized world-alteration - now, through game-created stains and your vision, Their name will be sanctified anew, returning once more.
