Chapter 326: The Divine Triad's Earthly Vanguard
The Rise of the Divine Followers
The Divine Triad's presence on Earth was most evident through their countless followers and priests. Over centuries, their devotion to Ashborn, Sung Jin-Woo, and Sung Su-Ho led to unparalleled strength, making them the most formidable group across all realms.
Among Earth's S²⁰-Rank hunters, the strongest bore unique traits reflective of their patron deity:
1. Ashborn's Followers:
Possessed celestial wings, akin to those of the Apostles of God, glowing with divine light.
Their powers were heavily attuned to celestial energy, making them unmatched in aerial combat and purification techniques.
They radiated a calming yet commanding presence, embodying Ashborn's celestial essence.
2. Sung Jin-Woo's Followers:
Granted a second black heart, similar to Shadow Lords and Dark Apostles.
This heart enhanced their mana capacity and allowed them to manipulate shadows, summon shadow minions, and levitate.
Their affinity for darkness gave them unparalleled versatility in both offense and defense.
3. Sung Su-Ho's Followers:
Capable of transforming into dragons, gaining immense physical strength, impenetrable scales, and the ability to breathe fire or other elemental attacks.
Their transformation signified their unbreakable bond with Sung Su-Ho, the Dragon Monarch.

Iconic Mounts of the Divine Priests
The Divine Triad's followers and priests were not only known for their power but also for their legendary mounts, each embodying the majesty and ferocity of their patrons:
Pegasuses: Majestic winged horses, swift and graceful, often ridden by Ashborn's celestial followers.
Griffins: Fierce and noble creatures with the body of a lion and wings of an eagle, symbols of Ashborn's strength.
Black Wyverns: Shadowy, winged beasts granted by Sung Jin-Woo to his most loyal priests, capable of blending into darkness and striking unseen.
Phoenixes: Eternal flames incarnate, their fiery presence signified rebirth and resilience, often seen with Sung Su-Ho's dragon-aligned priests.
Winged-Fenrirs: Mythical wolf-like creatures with wings, embodying speed, agility, and ferocity, they were rare and revered mounts.
These mounts were more than mere beasts—they were divine creations, bonded to their riders through soul links, sharing their strength and lifespans.

Immortality Without Divinity
The most devoted followers and priests of the Divine Triad reached the peak of power at S²⁰-Rank, a level that rendered them:
Immortal: Their physical bodies no longer aged, and they could regenerate from fatal injuries unless struck by divine power.
Unparalleled in Strength: They possessed unmatched might across all realms, rivaled only by the Divine Triad's own creations.
Despite their immortality, they remained mortal beings, distinct from true creators like the Divine Triad. Their loyalty to the Triad and their sacred mission to protect and expand their realms fueled their continuous growth.

Sung Jin-Woo's Priests: Overseers of balance and growth, guiding Earth's hunters and expanding the Shadow God's influence.

A Testament of Faith
The sight of celestial wings, shadow-infused levitation, and dragon transformations became a common yet awe-inspiring aspect of Earth's civilization. The Triad's influence permeated every corner of the world, elevating humanity to a status unmatched by any race in history.
As Sung Jin-Woo observed from his throne in Umbra Citadel, his voice echoed through the Divine Realms:
"They are the legacy of our power, the carriers of our vision. Through them, the multiverse shall flourish."
The Divine Triad watched with satisfaction, their followers embodying the perfect balance of devotion, strength, and purpose. Together, they formed the greatest force the realms had ever known.
