In the main shrine of the Temple City, a debate is going on about the battle for the main god.
The three generations of gods have the qualifications to be elected as the new main gods, but in order to become the ultimate victor from the candidates, they need to sacrifice the other six partners.
Four human forms, plus one half-human form, two animal forms. Seven patron saints sat around a round table.
The slender white and red silk thread pattern snake god coiled on the back of the chair never spoke.
For snakes, the mouth is not suitable for making speech. It is human beings who create the language, and the most suitable person to speak these languages can only be the human body. However, he had something he wanted to say, so he had to force himself to say something he wasn't good at.
"Now...... We should all have ...... Are you sure about the situation......? Stop, it is necessary to recognize...... Reality. β
The white-haired youth was called the 'White Ape'. He is an ape god who is born with a human body and has compassion for snakes and spiders that can only appear in animal form.
"I know what you're trying to say, Redstreak. I'll help you. The white ape knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention to his side. "Second generation gods. You just want to elect the Lord God as soon as possible, we understand that. And the quickest, way, is nothing more than to let us fight. That's what you mean, right?"
The big tiger nodded.
"It's really urgent, we don't have much time. Some people claim that the devil of Higashinokuni has entered our country, and it is unclear what the intention is. We need at least one strong enough warrior from your three generations of gods, so we decided to make you the main god. Quickly get faith from humans. In addition to the time crunch, I would like you to understand that the number of fighters in this crisis is not important, what matters is quality. If the rules weren't stricter, we wouldn't be able to pinpoint the one who was best at fighting, and that wouldn't make sense. β
Tiger's words were not agreed by any of the three generations of gods, and each of the three generations of gods who listened to these words showed impatient expressions.
The white ape continued his topic. "Well, since you have decided so, and we have no right to refute it. It seems that you have to do what you want. β
The white snake red-striped spit out the letter and said yes.
The white ape is right...... That's right, we didn't...... Choose. But ......"
It's okay to take a detour!
Also a tiger god, the tiger girl stared at the white ape and the red vein, revealing an expression of disbelief.
"You two are crazy? Do you want to die? Do you really think you can win from me? Or have you decided to give up?"
"Not necessarily. The white ape smiled and folded his legs on the stool. "Tiger. Your ego does depend on it, but it's not all out of chance. β
Redvein nodded, pointing the snake's head at the giant tiger.
"We agree with your selection rules, and we will not die. Can you announce the start of the auditions?"
The giant tiger said 'um', "But what about the others? What do other people think?"
Of the seven gods of the three generations, three have remained silent.
"Stinger, you should have the same opinion as mine, right?" the white ape smiled, looking across the equally silent black-haired youth beside him. Ask an emaciated man, "You're so smart. You should understand the red stripe and what I mean, right?"
The stinger nodded, and the movements were neat. He exhaled, stared at the giant tiger and asked, "Is there only one rule for your selection?
"That's right. The tiger said, "Only deathmatch can find the strongest among you." If we only looked at the combat effectiveness, we would have directly chosen the Tiger Girl a long time ago. They are also tigers. I'd like to do that. β
"Alright. I get it. Stinger placed both hands on the table, "I have no opinion, I accept the rule." β
The tiger girl looked at the stinger in disbelief, "I thought you were a smart person, how could you make such a judgment?"
"I'm a smart person. You're right about me, so I don't think the same as you, and if I were you, I wouldn't be as confident. Want to know what I think of you?"
The white ape didn't intend to let the two of them quarrel, and stabbed the black-haired young man next to him who looked a little similar to him with his elbow.
"How's that, little black. Since we're brothers, you should agree with my choice, right?"
"I'm a black aid, and the patronus has no brothers. The black-haired young man smiled, "If you plan to gamble, I'm willing to accompany you, but I'm not optimistic about you." β
"Gambling?" the dazed tiger girl couldn't figure out what these people were doing. She grabbed her blonde hair so hard that she couldn't figure it out, "What the hell are you guys up to?"
"What about the hundred shapes?" the white ape ignored the tiger girl, and went to ask another fellow animal in the form of the red vein.
Nicknamed the Hundred Shapes, it is a spider-shaped patron saint, the size of a wine glass, and sits next to the white snake of the red stripe.
"I ...... Yes...... What the...... Choose...... Leeway...... ......"
His ability to speak was much lower than that of the white snake, and his voice was hoarse and intermittent, making it difficult to read.
"Yes. The white ape smiled, "Who told you to be weak and useless." But being able to sit here already shows that you have good luck beyond us, and hopefully your good luck will last. β
"Multi-...... Thank. β
Of the seven, six have already taken a stand. White Ape and Redstripe were the first to agree to the selection rules, Stinger and Black Ape reconsidered, and Spider Shape agreed to accept the rules.
Except for the Tiger Maiden, who was clearly opposed, only the half-human Patronus with scaly skin and a thick tail behind him did not express an opinion.
"What do you think, do you want to accept our rules?"
Armor glanced at the tiger girl beside her, and suddenly stood up violently, sweeping her face with her tail. At the same time, his hands were transformed into claws as tough as the edge of a sword, and he turned to attack at the same time as his tail.
The tiger girl gave the sudden attack a blank look, and took the attack of her claws and tail. Throwing the half-man to the ground, he opened his mouth to reveal a mouth full of shark-like razor-like teeth, and bit down on his throat.
The throat part of the armor has no scales, and there are not many scales on his body. At noon, when the sun is overhead, the sunlight can shine directly on those parts of the person. All are covered with scales, such as the back of the neck, shoulders, and the outside of the arms.
The Tiger Girl wasn't going to bite the guy who was making the surprise attack, but just left a bite wound on his neck and gave up the attack.
"I could have ripped your throat just now!"
Armor, who was defeated by a single blow, looked at the other companions, "I agree with the selection rules. Without the help of humans, I will never be able to defeat the Tiger Girl, so I agree!"
Ou Na and Que Xi went to the Lying Chamber of Commerce in the city and found the merchant in charge of large-scale gift procurement.
Hearing that the two were going to send more than 400 gifts to the girls' home, the merchant smiled helplessly.
"Two ladies. I really sympathize with you, you have been blackmailed to such an extent by the director of the girls' home. β
Ou Na looked at the kind businessman and sighed. "No way, who told me that I need to find a temple to do something. I hope you stop ripping my wallet and pick me some cheap but passable gifts. It's a bit decent, and it's about the face of my partner. Ou Na said this, and patted the finch next to her, and the finch blushed a little. She still wasn't quite comfortable with Hua Ouna's money.
The merchant smiled and said it was fine. "We happen to have some stuff here, the warehouse is not far away, you two can come with me to see it. β
The good things that merchants say are actually some handicrafts that don't sell well.
Ou Na and Quexi were very satisfied when they saw it, and Fincy grabbed a bronze icon and sighed, "It is indeed very suitable for making gifts." But forget about this moon statue. "Everyone in the East knows that the moon god is no longer there.
"You can think of it as a normal rabbit statue, no problem. β
Ou Na turned white like the merchant, "What about the phrase 'praise God' on the base of the bronze statue?"
This sentence can also be engraved on the rabbit statue. β
Ou Na and Quexi: "......"
After picking for a long time, the two found dozens of trinkets suitable for gifts from the warehouse. Then the merchant gathered more than 400 servings, and then packed them with candy and biscuits from the dim sum house, and put them on the wagon.
It's still early, just two o'clock in the afternoon, and the donation should be completed today. But the gift selection is not over yet, and the six girls who are about to leave the children's home and enter the fire pit will receive additional gifts.
"Help me find some black pockets for jewelry. Ou Na decided to give the poor little girls a bloody time, "I'm going to give them something practical!"
For the poor, jewelry is the most practical item. As long as you treasure it, when the day is desperate, you can always exchange it for some money to buy food.
"Ouna, you are such a good person, God will bless you. Quexi was moved by the side, and she felt that she was really lucky to be able to meet someone like Ou Na.
"When you came to the Holy City, you spoke like a nun. β
"I wish I was a real nun so that I could pray for you every day. β
"Don't be stupid. Ou Na waved her hand, "If good people were blessed, I wouldn't know about the dirty things in the girls' home, and I would live in a beautiful world." So you better save it. β
According to Ouna's request, the merchant found some small, but valuable jewels.
"It's easier to store smaller, and gemstones don't hold much value, so it's better to use gold as the main material. In order to increase the added value, the craftsmanship must be good, and the money for the best craftsmanship should be equal to the value of gold. β
Based on these strange requests, the merchant selected a few beautiful and chic little things from the jewellers in the trading house. Ou Na was very satisfied after reading it.
"Since this lady is satisfied, I'll wrap it up for you. β
"No need to bag! I just told you to find me a few jewelry pockets. If it's too gorgeously packaged, the contents will be remembered, and I don't want to make trouble for those poor girls, so it's better to keep a low profile. β
The merchant brought a few small black pockets, which were very delicate, and Ou Na put them in, and she put away a few of them. "Just add a head. As usual, I bought so many things, I had to ask you to add a silver statue to me. β
The merchant was sure that he had met a buyer today, and after settling the bill, he received a very good amount of gold coins. Delighted, the merchant sent a team of guards to escort the wagons full of gifts to the girls' home.
A place like the girls' home full of orphans is actually very bad, and the neighborhood is full of thugs.
There is no parental discipline. Without enough food, the orphan girls live in a dangerous and cruel forest, and they are more like wild animals than humans. For the sake of their own interests, animals will do everything they can to either fight for or protect. As for the means, it mainly depends on the character and talent of the girls.
"Most of the girls who come out of the girls' home will be dragged into the fire pit by the thugs within a few weeks to go into the skin business. No matter how strong they were when they were in the girls' home. When you enter society, this kind of place, which is much more dangerous than the forest, will soon be subjugated. Humans are always the most feared predators of wild animals, whether you're a ferocious tiger or a stinging wasp. β
Ou Na expressed her opinion along the way, and Fincy felt that she was exaggerating. Especially when the two of them came to the girls' home and saw those cute. A little girl who called "big sister" gave a kind smile and distributed the gifts one by one.
Ou Na pouted. Gather a few older girls aside. Ask one of the girls, who seems weaker and easier to be bullied. "I heard that six of you are leaving the girls' home tomorrow, right? I have a better gift for you. By the way, what's your name?"
"Hello lady, my name is Youniao. Thank you and your friends for the gifts. However, it is not ......"
"If you don't want to be kicked in the ass, give me a good time. Don't grind. β
"That's right...... Tomorrow, seven of us will graduate from the girls' home. It's not a ...... of six."
Ou Na has said before that only the more beautiful girls will be detained at the summer graduation ceremony in order to find a buyer. She also said that she would go to the girls' home to buy women. It's all scum of scum.
You Bird is a very cute little girl in her opinion, at least her face is very good, so Ou Na wants to pinch it and bully her, so she unconsciously speaks ill of this girl.
"Seven, I heard six...... Listen to your dean. β
When the bird heard the word dean, he immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
"It seems that she is mistaken. Ou Na couldn't see the little girl lost, and she remembered that the dean had indeed changed his words once in six or seven. "Okay, if there are seven people, I'll just take out seven gifts. β
She pulled out the six jewel pockets she had placed on her body, and rummaged through her clothes for a while, unwinding the silver beetle she had picked up earlier.
The bird saw the delicate and lifelike silver beetle, and was slightly fluted. There were two other older girls beside her, both of whom were pulled out by Ou Na, and they were also shocked by the delicacy of the beetle.
"I've got this in my pocket. Ou Na threw the beetle in, and then smiled at the three little girls with shiny eyes: "Since you all want it, then I will be embarrassed, after all, there is only one beetle." So, I'll put seven gifts in the sticker, and you'll touch them yourselves. β
The rest of the graduating girls came one after another, and Ou Na asked for a wooden skewer, threw the gift pocket into it at will, and then left them alone and ran to find Sparrow. Zhou Shu's beetle was given away by Ou Na like this-
The seven third-generation guardian spirits left the temple and floated in the clouds, discussing things in secret. The selection system set by the second generation of gods has a loophole that is so obvious that it cannot be more obvious, that is, there is no time limit, that is, as long as the next seven people do not attack, they can survive in peace.
"Tiger girl, you are really stupid, you can't understand so many glances. β
The white ape sighed vigorously, and the tiger girl floated in the sky, cross-legged and angry.
"Your eyes are too inconspicuous!"
The thin stinger smiled, "No matter how obvious it is, the second generation god has also found out." But I think they already found out. β
"Why did you let us go?"
"Probably because some of them have good intentions. They must have made some compromises for the sake of us for a day's meeting, but they didn't tell us. But let's not be too happy, the other ones who want us to die will definitely try to drag us into battle. β
The reason why the three generations of gods are feared by the second generation of gods is that in addition to historical reasons, there is also a very important point. Three generations of gods in divine power. Be stronger than one generation of gods and two generations of gods.
The seven third-generation gods are all floating in the air, all seven can fly, and none of the ape and tiger gods in the second-generation gods can master the flying skills. Most of the mammalian gods are unable to fly.
In addition to flying, all three generations of gods have the ability to possess humans, and after possession, humans will have extremely strong combat capabilities. And in the second generation of gods. Only a very small number of gods have such abilities, such as the four bird gods of the West Country.
"No wonder you just said that. The Tiger Girl looked at the half-man who attacked her and smiled bitterly, "Do you think that after combining with humans, you will be able to defeat me?"
Armor is a taciturn male, and instead of responding violently to provocations, he admits the Tiger Girl's claims.
"You may not win, but you can do it. Without union, it is impossible. He finished. Look at the spider to the side. "Baixing also wants to use the power of combining with humans to increase the chances of survival, right? After all, with you now, it will be difficult for you to survive among us. β
Baixing didn't make a sound, which was considered a default. All the three generations of gods did not understand what kind of power they would have when they were united with humans, because no one had tried it. Since the beginning of their birth, they have been managed by the second generation of gods, and they have a limited understanding of their own strength.
The white ape was smiling and staring at the tiger girl. Ask her, "Tiger." Don't you want to be the main god?"
"Why do you ask? Would you not want to be?"
"Well, me. There's really no interest. What about you?"
"No, there isn't. "The Tiger Girl told the truth. "So you mean, the seven of us can take advantage of the loopholes in the rules that don't stipulate the time of victory and defeat, keep the peace like this, and never tell the winner?"
"That's right. The white ape smiled, "But that's not possible. β
"Why?!"
The white snake red veins and the emaciated stinger replied at the same time, "Because I want to be the main god!"
White ape, red stripe and stinger. The three of them worked together to explain the current situation to the ignorant tiger girl. In their eyes, it was impossible for the seven of them to be truly peaceful, because the temptation of the Lord God was too great. Even if the seven of them had concluded a non-aggression pact, there was no guarantee that they could actually abide by the agreement, and they were not busy gathering strength to prepare for assassination.
However, this does not mean that the plan of the second generation of gods will succeed. The white ape said that as long as there is time, there is room for maneuver. Maybe you can think of some way to achieve peace, such as arresting those who want to become the main gods and locking them somewhere.
Red Streak and Stinger smiled wryly at this TiyΓ¬, "I'll change my words now, I don't want to be the main god anymore, don't lock me up." β
Everyone knows that they are joking, and when they say 'want to become the main god', they are just explaining to the Tiger Girl that there are dangerous people with such ** among these seven people. If you want peace, it's not that simple.
"I see, but why are you explaining it to me?" the tiger girl felt that there was only one thing left to figure out.
"Because you're the strongest. The black ape, who had not spoken, laughed, "But if I don't tell you that we have hope for peace, God knows if you will be as eager to kill us as the armor over there." As long as you are given hope, you should choose the path of peace, right?"
The white ape did not deny this statement, and the same was true of the armor, "Tiger, as long as I can get more strength than you after combining with humans, I will kill you and win the game!"
The Tiger Maiden shrugged and said that it didn't matter, "Since you say so, then I won't go and unite with humans." I want to see if you can win me after the union. β
The white snake on the side hissed and laughed, "Tiger, I don't plan to combine with humans, we are partners." β
"Why?!" several other Patronus expressed shock.
The Tiger Girl doesn't go to the same person because her own combat power is strong enough, and she has that conceited capital. And the strength of the red veins is not very strong, and if it does not rely on humans, it is likely to become even weaker than the hundred shapes after the combination.
"Nothing...... I just don't want to put humans ...... Involved. He said, glancing at the armor, "You're going to let it go...... The ...... of the human being united to me Life?"
Armor snorted, "If necessary, I'll kill you and that human of yours!"
"Look. Redvein didn't say anything else, and looked at the human city below him. So far, he has only found one militant, and that is Armor, but this only shows that Armor is simple and straightforward, and nothing else can be explained. No one can guarantee that the white ape, who keeps saying 'peace', is not managing his image in order to better carry out the assassination. After all, for a god like the white ape, who is not very powerful, it is better to assassinate the enemy and survive the selection.
After explaining the situation to the Tiger Maiden, there was only one last difficult problem left for the candidate god.
Staring at the red stripe of the human world, he sighed, "How many of you...... How will you choose...... Cooperative human ...... Partner?"
At this time, he looked in the direction of the city girls' home. In the alley between the walls of the girls' home and the building, a beating is taking place. Two young girls are being dragged on the ground by a girl by the hair. One of the bullied is a girl called Yutori, who is very easy to bully in Ouna's opinion.
