However, the side effects of the Divinity were also from these beliefs. Once the divinity was eaten, then one would be influenced by these beliefs.
In simpler terms, the person that ate the Divinity would have their hearts and minds affected. Their hearts and minds would then move toward the wishes of the beliefs.
Naturally, this process was still the lighter side effect.
After absorbing Divinity, in order to level it up, then one needed to continuously condense it, causing one to move even closer to the hope of the beliefs. Even ones form would be changed.
It would be better to explain with an example.
If the Divinity that was absorbed came from believers that worshiped fire, then their belief was fire. The heart and mind of the person that absorbed the Divinity would then become rash and passionate. Moreover, the person's form could become a blazing man. The person might even become burst into flames.
