Chapter 1737: Tainted But Cheap.

Warshaw used a bowl to collect some of its blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Then she bowed and worshiped her new god. 

Her efforts were not in vain. The entire black bull turned into motes of golden light that dispersed and disappeared. Her offering had clearly been accepted. 

Legion received the notification to mark their progress. 

-Congratulations Your shrine has been established. You have become a local god with a foundation of worship.

-You have unlocked Title.

-You have gained access to Divine Abilities. 

-Your Oracle Warshaw has sacrificed to you. You have received her prayer and her offering. +4DE.

-You Have gained a new believer. +1 Authority.

Warshaw's prayer and her acolytes prayer gave them 1 Divine Energy each. The whole bull gave them 2 Divine Energy. It is clear that both sacrifice and prayers can provide them with Divine Energy but prayer is sustainable while sacrifice is a one time boost.
