"This is the breath of the god of darkness. The Stone of Gorgon, which is sealed by the Serpent, is a sacred tool related to the earth, and it is disturbing that a goddess who has a relationship with both the earth and the darkness has descended on Japan. ”

Looking at the sky in the courtyard, Yuri Wanli muttered quietly.

"The owl, Athena's messenger, is believed to be a bird that represents bad luck and bad luck when it appears at night. It is a sacred bird that is worshipped as a symbol of wisdom by the opposite side. Since ancient times, there have been symbols that represent the sacred and the vicious. If the snake and the owl are combined, what is the answer? ”

With a lazy voice, Ganbai Dongma walked over with a wry smile.

Other clergy who seemed to notice something unusual also walked out of the precincts.

This is the Nanao Shrine located in Nanchishi Park.

The dry cypress winter horse will be here, just idle and boring.

There was no way, the task was completed, although there were also some obstacles, such as some people were unwilling to serve the association, and no matter how much he argued about this, it would be useless, so he had to follow Ling Yi's meaning and give them two choices, one was to exterminate the clan and the other was to surrender.

Whether it is a witch or a cultivator, unless they are alone, who can endure the suffering of their loved ones.

In this way, the task was finally completed.

As for Yuri Moritani, she didn't have to take office so early because of the lack of manpower in the Spiritual Vision Department, so she stayed in the shrine as before.

Despite knowing in advance, Athena came so suddenly that there was no warning at all.

Before people could react, Tokyo was plunged into darkness.

If you look at the whole of Tokyo, not the whole of Japan. There are not many people to count on and rely on, but there is no way to do it, and there are only a handful of people who can fight against the 'disobedient gods'.

To put it more strictly, I'm afraid there are only two people.

The king of the king of the world and the king's right and left hand, the president of Japan's largest power magic association.

It's an incredible thing to be able to fight against a god who doesn't obey even though he's not a godslayer. But that elder had the experience of fighting the demon dragon of disobedience alone, and he was not much worse than a god.

In this way, even if one person can't beat it, the two of them can still have a good chance of winning.

Unlike these people in the vicinity, even the odds are vague.

Yuri shuddered.

Originally, the night was the object of human fear. The reason I forgot about this was because the electric light drove the darkness away. Fear of the night. It's the primordial instinct of human beings.

I want to escape from the dark realm. It is difficult for normal people to reach the sky.

Holding on to walls and guardrails, you can only judge by memory, and the road is difficult to identify, so you can only observe it carefully with the help of the hazy moonlight.

Very haunting night. No mercy to humanity.

"Still. I can barely use it when it comes to firelight. ”

Cold. A warm orange light appeared.

Ganbai Dongma took out a lighter and lit a fire. However, its fire soon burned out.

"What glows—that is, what does it mean that light and fire have lost their power?"

That's what it means. Darkness overwhelmed a qiē, eroding the essence of light, no, it would be more appropriate to say that it was inclusive, let the light also become darkness, worthy of being the queen who dominated in ancient times, at that time there was no technology, no matter how you look at it, the night has the upper hand. ”

Regardless of age or country, it is basically human beings who give names and myths to gods.

A powerful god who threatens and sometimes bestows favors on mankind.

In primitive times, they had no name.

Human knowledge indifferently found the posture of God in the vast sky and the great earth, fearing the storms and floods brought about by the wrath of God, and worshipping dangerous and powerful beasts as if they were the embodiment of God.

However, over the course of time, humans have given the gods names and made up myths for them.

For example, the creation of the earth, the god of Iluvita. Hercules, the god of the battlefield. Artemis, the goddess of fertility.

For example, Ogoun, the god of struggle and forging. At the same time, he is the god of rough warriors and the god of destruction, Tezcatripoca.

For example, Susanoo, who hides the sun. Vishnu with twelve incarnations.

There are as many gods as the stars.

All were born at the hands of humans.

These rituals can be said to have been produced by lowly human beings in order to prevent the divine power of the gods from becoming too powerful.

The famous great onmyoji Abe Haruaki once had such a conversation with Gen Boya:

Haruaki Abe: "What do you think is the shortest curse in the world?" ”

Gen Boya: "The shortest spell? Don't make me think, Qingming, you say it. ”

Haruaki Abe: "Well, the shortest mantra in the world is 'name'. ”

Yuan Boya: "Name? ”

Haruaki Abe: "Hmm. ”

Yuan Boya: "For example, you are Qingming, I am a 'name' like Boya?" ”

Haruaki Abe: "That's right. Others, such as mountains, seas, trees, grasses, insects, etc., are also a type of mantra. ”

Yuan Boya: "I don't understand. ”

Haruaki Abe: "The so-called curse is simply bondage. ”

Yuan Boya: ""

Haruaki Abe: "You know, a name is a thing that binds the essence of things. ”

Yuan Boya: ""

Haruaki Abe: "If there is something in this world that cannot be named, it means that it is nothing." It can also be said that there is no zài at all. ”

Yuan Boya: "It's hard to understand what you're talking about. ”

Harumi Abe: "Let's take another example, Boya is your name, and you and I are the same people, but you are the one who is bound by the curse of 'Boya', and I am the one who is bound by the curse of 'Harumi'. ”

Yuan Boya: "If I don't have a name, does it mean that I don't exist in this world at all?" ”

Abe Harumi: "No, you still have zài, it's just that Boya has disappeared." ”

Yuan Boya: "But, Boya is me!" If Boya disappears. Then I should disappear with me! ”

Haruaki Abe: "There are things in this world that cannot be seen by the eyes. Even what is invisible to the eye can be bound by a name. ”

Yuan Boya: "Really? ”

Haruaki Abe: "For example, men like women, and women like men. If you use a name to bind this feeling, it is a 'love affair'. ”

Yuan Boya: "I see. However, even if there is no such thing as 'romance', men will like women and women will like men too. ”

Haruaki Abe: "Of course, it's two different things. ”

Yuan Boya: "I don't understand anymore. ”

Haruaki Abe: "Let's put it another way, if there is a woman who loves you very much. You can also use spells to acquire anything in the world. Give it to her - even the moon in the sky. ”

Yuan Boya: "How to get it?" ”

Abe Haruaki: "Just stretch out your hand to the moon and say to the woman, 'Honey, I'll give you that moon.'" That's it. ”

Yuan Boya: "What? ”

Haruaki Abe: "If the woman agrees." Then the moon belongs to the woman. ”

Yuan Boya: "This is the curse? ”

Haruaki Abe: "It is the most basic essence of mantras. ”

Yuan Boya: "I don't understand at all. Isn't this self-deception? ”

Haruaki Abe: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, those monks in Koya are all self-righteous, thinking that they only need a mantra to spell everything in the world." ”

Yuan Boya Boya listened to it. Amazed.

In the same way, a god who gets a name and a myth will not do anything beyond these two things. When we give favors to human beings, and when we receive something in return, we act according to our duties.

Therefore, people can be prepared for God's threats or blessings.

However, if there is a god who makes a name beyond what it has received and what the myth represents.

If there were gods who had returned to primitive times with fewer mythological constraints.

Such a god is called the 'God of Disobedience.'

They wander on the earth in opposition to the myths that humans have wove together. When wandering in the country of the people who have given their names, it is like the water flowing in the land without green.

One day, the 'God of Disobedience' will bring disaster to the world in the future.

If the god of the sun descends, the whole world will become extremely hot.

If the god of the sea descends, the whole world will be swallowed by the waves and sink to the bottom of the sea.

If the god of Hades comes, the plague will spread to every corner of the world, turning the world into a city of death.

If the God of Judgment comes, the people who live here will be punished in a variety of ways.

As long as it exceeds a little, it will have such an impact on the world, and the god of calamity who creates his own posture according to his own preferences is the 'god of disobedience'.

"But why did the car stop? What the hell is going on? But thankfully, they stopped, so there were no accidents. "There were many clerics who reported information before, and it was mentioned that the vehicles had stalled, and Yuri Waniya was puzzled.

If the lights of cars and motorcycles moving at high speed had disappeared, there would have been a lot of accidents.

If such a tragedy were to happen in the area of Athena Tong Guò – it would be terrible to think about.

Why did you stop compared to this?

"It's a blessing in disguise. What is neutralized in the dark realm is light and fire. Stuff related to both of these stopped working. Not only the lights, but also the power of Athena, even the engine of the car stopped running, and car rear-end accidents continued to occur, but so far there has been no tragedy. ”

In this darkness, tools that emit light and fire for a long time, such as natural gas, gasoline, or oil lamps, are not used.

Ganbai Dongma said.

Thanks to this, telephones, radios, and air-conditioners can be used as usual.

A third of the Edogawa, Koto, and Chuo wards were swallowed up by darkness, and now even the Minato Ward has begun to erode.

For this reason, all the train lines in eastern Tokyo have come to a halt.

But they didn't know that the disaster caused by Ling Yi was spreading wantonly.

Through darkness, it erodes people's lives.

"Enough, so much mana, enough for me to have a good game with Athena."

The night breeze blew across his face, and a black-haired young man dressed in a single coat looked at the night sky in the distance.

In that place, a flock of owls wandered around.

It didn't take long for the silver-haired young girl's voice to sound.

"Is this the battlefield you chose? I don't see how much advantage I have for you at all, or rather, the concubine is overestimating you. (To be continued......)
