The empowered systems in each region differ from one another.
For instance, the Church System of the Chamomile Alliance and the Yellow Springs System domestically have significant differences.
The power of the former comes from the one God they worship.
To obtain this power, one must be baptized.
However, this does not mean that one cannot become an empowered person without joining the Church; it is entirely possible.
Because the Chamomile Alliance is not only influenced by the Russian Orthodox Church but also by Slavic mythology and numerous folk legends.
So theoretically, if an ordinary person in the Chamomile Alliance encounters the activation of a legend and becomes an empowered person, they can entirely choose not to join the Church but to depend on the local extraordinary system for survival, like domestic empowered individuals.
However, this theory might... not be easy to achieve.
Or to put it bluntly, it could be called hell-level difficulty.
