Whispers among the gods
"Tsk...... That madman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Tearing off the shirt that had become tattered with one hand and throwing it aside, Kanako shook her head unhappily, casually glanced at the ground, took a fancy to a pillar that was not too badly damaged, and staggered towards it like a drunk, and then sat down with a butt that did not have the majestic posture just now, and lazily leaned against the pillar and drank wine, and behind her, countless thick pillars fell to the ground, and the pillar body seemed to have been ravaged by thunder, flames and other things, countless scars and mottles.
"It's a dangerous ability, and it's a messy way to use it. Isn't she afraid of sinking this country built on an island? β
"Realm...... It's incredible that they can compete with the gods with this kind of power alone. β
The frog girl jumped out of nowhere, and seemed to have watched the battle the whole time, tilting her head and sighing.
"Huh? Don't you know the nature of that power? This is a normal thing. β
Kanako looked like she was right-on.
"No, I'm different from Kanako, I don't have such a deep understanding of the power of the world's origin, because it's already the same thing as instinct, but I'm too lazy to study that kind of thing."
The frog girl's face was as cold as ever, without the slightest expression. Interestingly, the frog-like hat on top of her head turned into a curious gaze, making it strange whether her body was the body of a young human girl or the frog hat she was wearing on her head.
"Because, everything in the world has no name, doesn't it?"
Kanako drank the wine in the bowl in a heroic sip, let out a satisfied sigh, and casually wiped the remaining wine from the corner of her mouth with her tattered sleeve, and explained casually.
"The world itself is a chaotic place of chaos, right down to the ancient gods...... Well, it's not a junior like us. Before they named the things of this world. It was only after that that that we were born a world full of order. You must know that when an object has a name, there can be a difference between things, that is, the so-called realm. Only then will the object be recognized. β
In other words, the power to give an object a name is the power of creation that can make an object emerge from nothingness, and the power to divide an object into different realms, which seem very similar but have slightly different powers. But in terms of results, they are all equivalent to the power of the gods. β
"yes, well, I'm too lazy to study this troublesome thing, I'm only interested in what my people depend on for their survival. But then again...... You look embarrassed, Kanako. When was the last time you were seen like this? β
The frog girl crouched on the pillar that Kanako leaned on, one hand on the brim of her hat to prevent it from being blown away by the wind, and she looked up at the sky slightly and whispered in a somewhat nostalgic tone.
ββ¦β¦ Probably, it's the battle between the two of us when we first met. β
"Tsk, what's there to mention about that kind of thing, but you, where did you run just now?"
Kanako, who has a very high self-esteem, naturally wouldn't say that she had been expecting the girl whose strength was only slightly inferior to herself in the battle just now to help, so she just looked up at the frog girl squatting on it unhappily, and pulled the topic over with a somewhat awkward twist.
"Huh? Didn't you notice? β
"Found what?"
The frog girl glanced at Nako and realized that she really didn't know and explained to herself, a god who was once a sworn enemy but now a close friend, after pretending to be stupid.
"When you were playing with that guy, there were several breaths no less than that of the monster sage that were ready to move, especially a black aura with the smell of calamity, and that surging battle intent was already to the extent that I would immediately rush out and join the battlefield when I sneezed...... It's called having nothing to do. Haah, I really didn't expect to be bullied by youkai one day......"
The frog girl sighed helplessly, this kind of mature behavior that has gone through countless vicissitudes of life, coupled with the appearance of her young girl, unexpectedly does not feel disobedient, but natural, as if it is a matter of course.
"Qi, those bastards are just bullying me incompletely...... When the faith is collected enough, today's Qiu Wu must ask those bastard monsters for profit! β
"No, I can see it very clearly from the sidelines, that monster sage is not a little bit of water, don't forget, she maintains such a large enchantment, and she fights with you while repairing the damage of the enchantment while resisting the correction of inhibition-I'm afraid...... I don't think even a tenth of the power is being used. β
The frog girl said this in a light tone without giving any face, and without saying a word, Kanako showed a sad expression as if she was shot by an invisible bow and arrow, and when it came to the end, Kanako was already hit to the point where she couldn't get up again.
"Don't do that, Suwako. Anyway, we've been friends for thousands of years, so can't you blow with me and help me find some confidence, I was abused by a monster just now! β
Kanako said this indignantly, picking up the bowl that seemed to never finish drinking and pouring a sip of fine wine, looking like a middle-aged bald uncle who had just been fired by his boss and lost hope for the future.
"It's because you're too anxious to become like this, it's clear that what you crave isn't that."
"Suwako, it's true that the boy is a very special and interesting little guy. However, don't forget who we are. β
Kanako's expression became gloomy for a moment, and the atmosphere that had been lost but inexplicably happy and relaxed just now was gone, and even the sky with a trace of orange sunset light still remained.
"We are gods, and the only fate of a god without faith is to be forgotten, and the forgotten god will break off faith, and the end of both is the same regardless of who comes first or last. It is the end that is even more terrible than death, and the gods who have died may one day be resurrected because of their faith, but the gods without faith will dissipate without even experiencing the process of death. Not remembered - not in the past, not in the present, not in the future. β
-- And we're gradually coming to this end.
"So, that annoying youkai is right, I'm just using that boy's gentle personality to collect faith, and I decided to know that boy from the beginning."
