Regal nodded in satisfaction, his companions, cand Buddha, observing him closely. Scathach maintained a neutral expression, while Buddha's grin widened, revealing his sharp canines, giving him the appearance of a predator eyeing its prey.
Both noticed a subtle shift in Regal's demeanor but refrained from commenting.
"So, what's next? Shall we head to the guild? Also, I'm pretty sure there's no Buddha in Genkai or Tenkai. Might be a hassle," Buddha remarked casually, his tone lazy yet tinged with excitement.
Regal handed Buddha an identity card which came with an attached pen, explaining its purpose, "This is an identity card. Since you're not a god from this world, it will ensure that others recognize you. What you write on it is up to you. Once you're done, just put a drop of blood on it to activate it."
Buddha snatched the identity card with a mischievous grin, hastily scrawling a single line before dropping a drop of blood on it. It read: IT IS BUDDHA!
Regal couldn't help but laugh at Buddha's antics as the card disappeared. "Let's go to the guild to regist-"
"No, I will go alone," Buddha interjected, his expression mischievous. "I want to see how this will go first. Wasn't there a god in the guild?" Regal simply nodded in response.

Buddha strode confidently into the guild, his striking attire drawing the attention of both regular citizens and adventurers alike.
Approaching an empty counter, he didn't waste any time and went straight to it. Despite the morning hour, the guild was bustling with activity.
The counter was manned by an elf who exhibited the typical arrogance and pride associated with his kind. As Buddha approached, the elf's demeanor faltered slightly, though he still retained an air of haughtiness.
Buddha being Buddha let out a little of his God's aura which almost made the poor elf pisses his pants, unlike other Gods who let out their aura to make sure the mortals know they are gods Buddha keeps his aura in check, and when he releases a bit of it the whole guild's focus was on him realizing he was God.
(\\\Author note: For those who don't know, the gods in Danmachi can't hide their God's aura completely, Hermes can but to the point where it is barely noticeable.///)
"Hey, brat! Register me in, I just came down yesterday." Buddha's casual tone snapped everyone out of their daze. A God capable of concealing their presence was an unheard-of phenomenon and coupled with Buddha's unconventional attire and distinctive hairstyle, it was a sight to behold after all other gods try to blend with mortal.
(\\\Author needs an answer!!! Should I give Buddha a lollipop with the concept of infinity?///)
"Y-Yes, please follow me! Registering a god requires a higher-up to do it!" The elf was now sweating, the whole elf race had very high pride, having their noses up in the sky but what about gods? they dont have their nose up in the sky but themself up there.
Walking down the hallway, guided by the sweating elf, Buddha observed his surroundings with idle curiosity. Suddenly, another elf, short and rotund, emerged from around a corner and immediately bowed before Buddha. The elf who had been leading him had vanished, leaving Buddha and the short and fat elf.
"Hmm? Now who are you? No, what are you? A pig and an elf?" Buddha's words were blunt, lacking any filter as he observed the fat, short elf before him, sensing the greed emanating from him.
"Please forgive me. I am Royman Mardeel, the head of the Guild. Normally, the Gods would be registered immediately, but Lord Ouranos wishes to meet you," Royman explained, keeping his head bowed in deference.
Royman Mardeel is an arrogant Elf who constantly looks down on others except for the Gods and Goddesses. he is teased by the Gods and hated by the elves.
"Oh, then lead the way." Buddha's grin widened as if this was precisely what he had been waiting for. He had his own plans, and the guild seemed like the perfect place to start. Moreover, meeting the god who ran it would be even better.
Walking down an empty hall, Royman led him to the prayer chamber. It resembled an altar room, with a throne and numerous rune-like symbols adorning the walls. The chamber was dimly lit, casting an eerie atmosphere.
Stepping inside, Buddha faced the god of the guild, Ouranos. A moment of silence enveloped the two figures. Ouranos appeared as an elderly man, with white hair and piercing blue eyes. He wore a white robe, accentuated by a black hooded cloak and sandals.
"Buddha, correct?" Ouranos spoke. "Who are you exactly? I am aware of your name, yet know nothing more than that. Neither have I ever seen you nor heard about you."
In Buddha's mind, 'Is that how the identity card works? huh... this will be fun,'
Outwardly, Buddha laughed. "Ouranos, there are only a few things you need to know. One, I am Buddha," he paused, and an enormous pressure fell on Ouranos. "Two, you aren't the only one who can use divinity in the mortal world." The pressure increased again.
"Three, don't mess with my Familia," Buddha added firmly. Ouranos's expression turned solemn. The revelation that Buddha could also use divinity in the mortal world was alarming. While Ouranos could use divinity due to a pact with the heavens to suppress the dungeon, it was a closely guarded secret known to only a select few. If he diverted his attention, disaster would ensue. As for Buddha, Ouranos couldn't ascertain the extent of his power, but in his mind, Buddha was now the most dangerous God in the world.
Ouranos didn't know, and would likely never discover, that Buddha was not from this world. Summoned by the system, Buddha operated beyond the control of the heavens, rendering him a literal god walking amongst mortals. This fact made Buddha an even greater enigma and potentially more dangerous than Ouranos could have ever imagined.
The tension in the air was palpable, thick as water, but it was abruptly shattered by Buddha's unexpected question. "Is there any candy or sweet food in the city?" he inquired, his casual demeanor dispelling the pressure in the room as if it had never existed. With one hand behind his head and the other on his hip and a grin, Buddha seemed more like a troublemaker than a god.
---Hostess of Fertility---
Regal and Scathach were sitting in a corner of the pub, while a girl with bluish gray hair that she keeps tied with a small knot in a ponytail hairstyle with gray eyes was taking their orders. there were a couple of them in the pub and almost all their attention was on Regal and Scathach.
After all, both have God-level appearance and presence, Regal's Hegemony making the pressure around them heavy while Scathach... Well, she is Scathach.
"Two breakfasts and whatever is a good drink," Regal ordered casually. He was dressed in a simple black hoodie and loose pants. Beside him, Scathach remained inconspicuous in her attire—a black robe over her usual form-fitting clothes, a precaution against drawing unnecessary attention in a city full of gods.
