Chapter XVIII: Faith
Time passed little by little, and the construction of the sleeping shrine came to an end.
Wood sat in the main hall, watching the completion of the construction of the worship hall, and his heart was also relieved, from this moment on, the divine domain can be said to have been completely formed.
"I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."
Yato lay on the side holding his five-dollar coins, watching the divine power rising from the worship hall with envy in his eyes.
And at this moment, Wood's expression suddenly froze.
Without warning, a burst of bright light suddenly illuminated the entire main hall, and Yato and Yukine were startled at the same time, looking at the divine power that burst into Wood's body, Yato's face flashed with shock.
What happened?
And just as few people couldn't see, the sky above the shrine began to distort, and bursts of golden light spread down, enveloping Wood in it.
……
Wood felt like he was falling into a warm ocean, as if it had been accumulated somewhere for a long time, waiting for this moment to come.
All kinds of emotions came one by one.
Dependence, admiration, missing, trust...... And so on, all kinds of emotions are piled up, like a child who has overcome all difficulties and obstacles, and finally found a home.
Vaguely, Wood seemed to see a young face, a longing call, it was a little girl with red eyes.
- The Cursed Son.
These are all from the gratitude of the cursed children.,Not just the children in the school city.,It's the gratitude and admiration of the cursed children of the whole world for the people who changed their situation.。
He has improved our lives.
He, built our home.
He taught us to see ourselves.
He made us understand what selfishness is.
He......
……
The belief and admiration of millions of little girls surged towards Wood at the moment when the Divine Domain was condensed, and Wood's mind vaguely seemed to have passed through some unknown passage.
Seen, familiar with the city walls.
See, bustling city.
I saw it, walking between the streets, those little girls with heartfelt smiles on their faces, some familiar, some unfamiliar.
I saw it even more......
In the middle of the city, the ...... that rises above all the buildings and reaches into the clouds
- Giant statue!
It was Wood with a textbook in hand.
When the cursed son passed by the statue, he would stop, some of them complaining of distress in their hearts, and some of them of longing...... A wide variety of strong beliefs were clearly transmitted to Wood.
They took the statue as their faith and took the person on the statue as their own code of conduct.
What are you......
You are the world.
You're not there......
The world is you!!
The whole world seems to be muted at this moment.,All the children in the school city,Raise their heads in unison.。
Vaguely ......
It was as if they had seen that familiar gaze in the clouds.
I felt that familiar sense of gaze, pampering, missing, loving!
At the same time, the statue's eyes began to change, becoming more shiny, warmer, more vivid, looking at the whole world.
Teardrops slid down the corners of the statue's eyes.
They......
Remember me!
……
Divine power boiled like boiled water.
Deep in the soul, the pitch-black space is divided into three areas.
One of them is blood~
There was a pungent smell of blood, and the sea of blood churned within it, and in the middle of the sea of blood stood a figure; Scarlet blood robes, blood-flaming wings, sharp fangs, noble and arrogant.
The second is green~
The green earth, the blue ocean, the towering mountains are distributed throughout the space, and the tall figure stands here on the top of the high mountain in the center; The angular face, the bald head with bruised muscles, and the rolling muscles on the body, domineering and angry.
The third is gold~
The golden light in the sky makes the whole space appear sacred and solemn, and the central tower stands tall, and a figure lies horizontally on the top of the tower. Gray hair, a pair of golden eyes showing indifference, wise and lazy.
Three figures of different styles opened their eyes at the same time at this moment, looking ahead, all with gentle smiles on their faces.
The golden divine power was like a dam bursting, and it frantically spread around, repairing the pitch-black cracks in the three spaces.
The dark green crack on the giant's body, shirtless, gradually began to heal, and an indescribable sense of power flowed from its body, and its body became stronger, as if it could destroy all obstacles with a single punch.
……
Sleeping shrine!
A soothing aura permeated the air, and everyone who walked nearby felt relieved, and they all looked at the shrine at the top of the mountain.
"Wood?"
Yato looked at Wood with his eyes closed in the golden light in a daze, feeling the increasingly dense aura of the gods, and the look in his eyes was replaced by shock.
- Famous gods?
This is the breath of immortality, and the gods who possess this breath will be reborn even if they die.
Even......
It will no longer disappear because it is forgotten.
But how is this possible?
Although Wood's propaganda during this period made the God of Sleep well-known to everyone, knowing and believing are two different things, and there are many people who worship all gods, but they cannot be said to be believers in these gods.
Only those who believe in this God can be called believers.
But just like this, it is impossible to become an immortal named god, and it also needs a certain number of believers; Not hundreds, thousands, not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, but the fanatical faith that requires millions of believers.
The propaganda of the history of the gods does not dissipate by being forgotten, but where do the millions of believers come from?
Above, the golden vortex gradually began to shrink.
The long-accumulated faith gradually turned into a stable place, no longer as violent as at the beginning, and Wood, who was in the golden divine power, slowly opened his eyes.
Rumble!
The divine power is churning, as if pulling up the sluice, and the flood that has long been overflowing is pouring out like thunder!
- Gods.
At this moment, the sleeping god-sama in Yukin's impression who was even lazier than Yato suddenly became full of majesty, no less than the Tenjin-sama he saw the day before yesterday!
Tick!
In the silence, the sound of water droplets falling is clearly audible.
Looking at the incomparably gentle smile on Wood's face and the tears under this smile, Yato couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He's crying?
But there was no sadness in these tears, but full of relief.
They......
I'm doing well now.
Wood thought though that those cursed children would be grateful to him. However, he never expected that this gratitude would be so heavy.
It was so heavy that he could hardly bear it.
The golden light completely dissipated, but the thoughts that came down the statue all the time did not stop, it was the fanatical belief of millions of little girls in Wood!
"Wood?"
Yato asked tentatively.
"Do you want to drink?"
"Huh?" Yato was stunned.
"How about I have a treat, how about we go for a drink?"
Yato looked at the smile on Wood's face, and the corners of his mouth grinned:
"I'm very good at drinking."
