Foreword: Habitual Push and Collect ......

"It's just talking, there's no sense of force. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhen Suwako also starts to face up to this problem, I can be considered to have someone to really discuss with. I envy you and Miss Pache very much in this regard. ”

"Uh, haha, there's no need to be so pessimistic." I scratched my head and said, "Is it true that gods disappear if they lose their faith?" ”

"It can be taken seriously, or it can be said that it is not."

"So Miss Kanako said that at the beginning?"

Yes, faith can be important or not. I don't know how to answer this question, because I've seen the disappearance of certain gods who are about as good as me, but they do disappear, without a trace, like a return to nothingness. But I know very well that I will not disappear with the disappearance of faith, and why, it is just that the feelings of the gods themselves cannot prove to you. So, in this way, whether or not it depends on the existence of faith does not depend on the level of spiritual attainment, and there are many other mystical factors that we cannot discover. ”

"What if humans have a negative attitude towards the gods? Will it cause the gods to disappear? ”

"It's the same question as the previous question, but the expression is reversed."

"I see."

"Now, collecting faith has become a habit that cannot be abandoned for the time being," Kanako said in a tone of pity or indifference, "and the power of the human will can be said to be strong or very weak. ”

I can roughly understand the meaning of this sentence, "For a while, I heard a lot of rumors, such as the news of the Tengu reporter, and it was said that the main reason for the relocation of Moriya Shrine to Gensokyo was the almost severance of faith in the outside world, right? ”

"Hmm...... What does Miss Alice think? ”

"I think the only thing that can be said for sure is that Miss Kanako and Suwako made the decision to move to Gensokyo together, because if it weren't for the severance of faith, it's hard for outsiders to guess and understand," I said, "I think Suwako is also the first god to be 'born' after the formation of religion." ”

"Yes."

"Regarding Suwako-chan, it seems that apart from a few sporadic stories circulating, there are no actual believers who maintain her worship, and it can be said that her faith has long been severed, which means that Suwako, like Miss Kanako, is a god who does not have to rely on faith to manifest."

"Miss Alice is a scholar." Kanako complimented her for the second time.

"Eh, hehe, the secrets of the gods belong to the realm of mystery, but the common truth can still be inferred through superficial logical relationships."

"Not only gods, but every youkai has its own mystical realm."

"Ah, that's right."

"The direct reason why we moved Moriya Shrine to Gensokyo in its entirety - not only in the material aspect of the main body of the shrine building, but also in the minds of all people in the outside world - is actually very straightforward, and the practice of the gods has reached the realm of being free from external influence, so severing the connection between humans and the gods since ancient times is a practical manifestation of the spiritual vows made by the gods."

"Generally speaking, it's still about the cultivation of the gods and goddesses."

"That's it, so there's no practical point in digging into the cause, even the gods themselves can't sort out everything that concerns them."

"By the way, I haven't seen Suwako-chan all this time, did she go out to play?"

"Probably, she's been hanging out with the two-sided alliance lately."

"Is it as Sanae said to take revenge?"

"Who knows what a child thinks."

Child? Because compared to the orthodox gods and Kazuki of Moriya Shrine, I'm more familiar with Suwako-chan buried in the shadow of history, so naturally I don't have anything to refute this, and the reason for my familiarity is related to my collection of Marisa transformation materials.

"It wouldn't be serious to collect some faith and make up the level back......"

"It doesn't matter, it's for fun."

"Ha ......"

"Actually, there are several very important reasons, the most common of which is that moving into Gensokyo does not depend solely on the decision of me and Suwako, but is the decision of the human community itself, because humans have not really needed gods since ancient times, and they have only begun to realize this obvious fact in the last hundred years. ”

This may be related to the secrecy of Kanako's practice that is inconvenient for outsiders to talk about, so I hesitated to continue asking, "By the way, Miss Kanako has been talking about herself, and does Suwako-chan have similar cultivation since she used to be a god?" ”

"Suwako, I feel a little different, I think she hasn't reached the level of knowing her own existence, but it's not far away, but since she doesn't want to talk to me for the time being, she must not be able to break through some barriers, and the time is far away, so I'm not in a hurry."

"Actually, I'm more curious about the disappearance of the gods," I said, "is it a return to nothingness similar to the simple idea I proposed?" ”

"Ah, speaking of which, one of the reasons why we moved into Gensokyo is that I have seen the gods born in modern civilization disappear completely after a period of insignificant time, not as a return to nothingness, but as the literal destruction of humanity unconsciously."

"Huh? Is that okay? Who is this unlucky-sounding god? ”

"This god is sublimated from people, has a clear origin, does not have to think about where he came from, does not have to care about the present, his name as a human being is Yingli Masamei, the opportunity to become a god is his certain coordinated operation of the Internet and the electromagnetic field covering the planet, he can be called a real human god, because his divine characteristics are not entirely derived from nature, his only function is to fuse human will, which can be roughly analogized to a node that transmits and receives signals at the same time. In other words, Alice should be no stranger to the Internet, right? It is a generic term for the more general chat network developed by Kappa. ”

"I still have common sense in this regard," I said, "why did Yingli Zhengmei disappear?" Now that we have acquired what can be called omnipotent for human beings, we have attained a way of being. ”

"Because human beings naturally discovered the loopholes in the Internet, and then modified and upgraded the Internet interconnection protocol, this routine modification naturally could no longer make the physical network built by human beings happen to match the characteristics of the planet's electromagnetic field to connect human beings themselves, and the weak connection of human consciousness was destroyed, and the gods naturally disappeared."

Neither man nor God is terrible, everything is just a natural evolution.

"Did Miss Kanako meet a human god by chance?"

"No, we were approached by Yingli Zhengmei to kick the gym in a hostile way by grabbing turf."

"Do the gods have to fight each other for turf?"

"In ancient times, it was not uncommon for gods to fight each other for more people and more faith, but the purpose of Yingli Masamei coming to the door was not just as simple as grabbing territory, he himself did not need faith to maintain his existence, even if no one knew him, it didn't matter, he maintained the characteristics of human beings and became a human god, and it was natural for him to inflate himself in an attempt to become the only god in the whole universe, so the purpose of his actions was to destroy all the gods in the world and visible."

"It sounds like it's going to be a tough battle."

"On the contrary, when Eiri Masami arrived in my domain, the collapse was nearly halfway through, and all of the above information was inferred from what he said on his own."

"Didn't fight at all?"

"No, the arrogant One God is gradually collapsing himself, and there is no need to fight, although I admit that if he comes to the door and kicks the gym before the agreement is changed, he may be an unprecedented formidable enemy."

The world of gods and monsters is very complicated.

Kanako concluded: "In short, it is ironic that perhaps the most special and perhaps greatest god of all time has collapsed and disappeared without the human being knowing, and the person who communicated with him before disappearing was not a human who desperately needed to understand him, but a god who had tried his best to cut off contact with humans. ”
