Chapter 40: The Distinction Between the Gods and the Ability to Create Dry

"Kanako!"

"Kanako-sama!"

Looking at Kanako, who fell straight to the ground like a bird that had lost its wings, Sanae and Suwako let out an exclamation of disbelief, and it was not only them who expressed their surprise together, but also Takeya.

But Wu Ye was surprised-

"Really, you actually knocked the god down?!"

Looking at Remilia, who fell in front of her, unlike the embarrassed god of the other party, she didn't even put away the parasol in her hand except for some slightly charred black scrapes.

It turns out that the vampire lord is such a strong existence? No, it turns out that the gods are such a weak chicken race?!

"Don't be careless, Takeya."

Not rejoicing that Ichichi had the upper hand, Remilia stared coldly at Kanako, who was lifted up from the cracked earth by her companions.

As soon as she got close to Takeya, Remilia quickly grabbed his hand, and at the same time used her majestic demonic power to blow away all the surrounding stakes and pillars so that she could better observe the movements on the other side.

"That's a real god, and although it's already weak, there's no way it's going to fall because of this level of attack."

"A true god?"

Wu was also stunned.

"Could it be that there is still a fake?"

"I can't say it's fake, but in my opinion, there are two main types of gods."

On the one hand, she accelerated the replenishment of demon power, and on the other hand, Remilia was doing science popularization for Wu Ye by the way:

"One is the gods that are entrusted to myths and legends and have been handed down together with the history of mankind, whose status is equivalent to a part of historical myths, and the other is the gods who are simply composed of the power of faith, and the meaning and form of existence all depend on the gods of faith."

"This ...... Is there any difference? ”

"If it is in an era of abundant faith, of course there is no difference, but in this era when faith is basically non-existent, then the difference is great."

Seeing that the other side was gathered together and seemed to be discussing what to prepare, Remilia didn't care, but kept the demonic power supplemented, and then continued to explain:

"The gods of the mythological system basically don't have the concept of 'death', unless you can completely destroy the entire myth, otherwise they are immortal, and the power of faith is only a matter of strength for them, but the other one is different."

Remilia's narrowed blood-colored eyes slowly stared at the young goddess Akasuwako beside Kanako.

"Gods who are purely made up of the power of faith do not have the ability to be 'immortal', and if their faith is scarce and not replenished, they will completely lose the meaning of their existence."

"...... have lost the meaning of existence?"

"It is equivalent to extinction, and the god constructed by human beliefs, once forgotten by human beings, will have no meaning of existence, and she herself will disappear from this world as if she never existed."

“......”

Speaking of which, Takeya finally understood that the god of faith is probably equivalent to an indigenous god, that is, the so-called eight million gods in mythology (note), there is no legend to rely on, and it is a god "constructed" entirely by human beings' own beliefs.

Remilia sneered:

"It's miserable, isn't it? It is obviously a high god, and its existence or not depends on humans like ants to decide. ”

“......”

Wu didn't speak either, because in a sense, Remilia herself was in the same situation.

Like the gods who have no faith and are equivalent to death, the youkai who have lost their fear are themselves the sad part of the existence that humans have chosen to "abandon".

"In the outside world, the power of faith is similar to the power of demons, and if it is not replenished, whether it is a god or a demon, it will become the same as a human, the same weak."

Feeling the demonic power in her body again, a smile slowly appeared on Remilia's face.

"So if there are real gods over there, then we don't have to fight and wait for death."

"Don't say such scary things all of a sudden!"

"It's not scary, that's the truth."

Remilia gave Takeya a blank look.

"The real gods are 'immortal', even if they will be infinitely weakened because of the loss of the power of faith, but they will not fall in the end, and we are different, once your demonic power is exhausted, we will have no power to resist at all."

"Isn't that bad?!"

Dare to love the previous said so handsome, in the end it can't be beaten!

"It's terrible, so I can only pray."

"Praying for what?"

"Pray they're not real gods."

Remilia said with a smirk:

"At the very least, if one of those two isn't a 'true god,' then we'll hope."

"Two? Two of them. ”

Takeya glanced at the other side in surprise, and then gradually calmed down again.

"Sure enough, that shrine maiden is not a god."

"Of course, that shrine maiden is an ordinary human, but she can also use the power of faith, so she looks like a god."

As she spoke, Remilia glanced up and down at Takeya for a few moments, and then her gaze rested on the five-hundred-dollar coin in his hand.

"Anyway, what are you holding in your hand? It's not like weapons, it's a bit like money. ”

"That's the money."

"Outside money, by the way, what are you doing with the money?"

"What...... Apologize, of course! Who told me to collapse someone's house? ”

“......”

If it weren't for the support of the other party's demonic power now, Remilia really wanted to pry Takeya's brain open to see what was inside.

The old lady is tired and tired of fighting with people on it, even in the face of the gods, she will not fall behind, you are good, you will directly throw away all the faces on our side.

"So, that, what's wrong? Remilia? ”

Takeya, who was suddenly treated by silence, asked with some uneasiness.

"No ......"

Remilia said with a dark face:

"I'm just thinking about whether to hand you over directly to the other party."

"Why!"

Roaring depressedly, after a long silence, Wu also asked in a muffled voice:

“...... Now what? Just waiting? ”

"The other side is also preparing, and now it can be regarded as a temporary truce, but if we can't come up with countermeasures in this time, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

"Countermeasure ......"

Wu also thought for a moment, and then tried to ask:

"I know the other party's ability, is this useful?"

"You know? Really? ”

There was a deep distrust in Remilia's tone, but there was a hint of surprise.

"I really know, it's one of my abilities."

Seeing the doubt in Remilia's eyes, Wu also said unhappily:

"The god who fought you just now is called Yasaka Kanako, and her ability is 'the ability to create a dry degree'."

"Creation ...... What does that mean? ”

"Oh, I almost forgot that you were a monster from the West."

Patting his head, Wu also explained:

"I don't know the specifics, anyway, if it's the 'Qian' in the gossip, the meaning should be 'heaven'."

"God?"

Remilia looked strange and said:

"That is, that guy's ability is 'the ability to create heaven'? It sounds like a god can use it, but it seems a little unclear. ”

"I don't know, maybe it's manipulating the weather, right? It's a bit inconspicuous. ”

Wu Ye can only "see" the name of the opponent's ability, but he can't know the effect of the ability, so he doesn't know how the opponent uses this ability.

"Speaking of which."

Takeya looked down at the parasol in Remilia's hand.

"You're too disrespectful, aren't you?"

"What?"

"I said you, the other party is also a god, and you only use one hand to deal with her, this is too contemptuous of people, right? No, you look down on God too much, right? ”

"Are you stupid!"

Remilia said speechlessly:

"Miss Ben is a vampire! Bloodsucker! With this body that lacks demonic power now, if it is exposed to the sun, it will be burned to ashes! ”

"Uh, sorry, I almost forgot...... No, wait. ”

Scratching his head embarrassedly, Takeya suddenly thought of something, he looked at Kanako and said in a subtle tone:

"If the other party's ability is to create dry, and the weakest chicken can also control the weather, then your situation is not very bad? For example, she suddenly made a sunny day to come out? ”

"Huh......?"

Remilia also thought of this, and the expression on her face froze slightly, and at this time, as if to confirm their words, Kanako on the other side actually raised her hand.

"Oh my god!"

After a wonderful call, the sun in the sky suddenly became as bright and hot as midday.

"I'm ...... day"

At that moment, Remilia's eyes were full of resentment, but it was a crow's mouth aimed at Takeya......
