Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

The sudden sound shattered the solemn and quiet atmosphere. Yawes reached out and poked Miss Nayue's cheek as she sat on the red chair.

Hmm, as expected of the original form, the feel and the embodiment of magic...

It doesn't seem to make much of a difference?

"This is... a prison barrier?!"

Looking at the familiar scenery around her, Nangong Nayue instantly realized where she was.

"Yahweh, why did you bring me here?"

As she asked this question, Nangong Nayue turned around and saw Yawei poking her cheek with his finger, and her face instantly darkened.

"Don't touch my body!"

"I just wanted to test the feel of Natsuki-chan's real body and see how it differs from her magical incarnation..."

Yawei, you felt the slightest bit embarrassed and withdrew your hand naturally.

"So, what exactly do you want to do here?"

Although she asked the question in this way, she actually had a vague guess about Yahweh's purpose.

"Come and see Natsuki-chan's true form?"

"........."

Seeing Miss Nagatsuki's expressionless face, Yawe stopped joking.

"Hey, has Natsuki-chan considered it...?"

He said so.

"...Break free from the pact with the demon and wake up from the dream?"

"........."

Is that so?

"Yahweh,"

Her tone became slightly complicated.

Why do something so meaningless?

"You should know that doing this would have serious consequences, right?"

"This is not something that is meaningless!"

After hearing Nangong Nayue's words, Yawei gently shook his head.

"Natsuki-chan, you know..."

"...The origin of familiars?"

"Eh?"

Nangong Nayue was completely taken aback when the topic suddenly shifted to familiars, and her expression froze for a moment.

"A summoned beast from another world?"

But she quickly realized what was happening and answered using the information she had.

"To be precise, they should be described as 'rule-activated beings' from a broken world!"

"A shattered world? Rules-driven organisms?"

Although she knew that her familiars came from another world, she had never known anything about what Yahweh was talking about.

"That's right!"

Yahweh nodded slightly. Unlike most beings in this world who knew about familiars but not why, Yahweh, being a born god, did not spend much time clarifying the nature of "familiars" and the "other world" behind them.

In fact, Strike the Blood is not one world, but two worlds!

That's right, the "other world" where the familiars exist is not an alternate dimension that exists in relation to the main world, but a truly independent other world!

However, it was a shattered and broken alternate world. This world collided and merged with the world of Strike the Blood, forming the Strike the Blood world as we know it today.

The so-called "familiar beasts" are special creatures that formed in that broken world.

That shattered world, where the most basic material realm had been completely destroyed, was almost a mixture of countless distorted rules, so naturally no normal life could exist there.

"Familiars" are special creatures born in this distorted world—"rule-activated creatures".

Just as Yahweh called it, the essence of a "familiar" is a cluster of activated rules.

When combined with the remaining spiritual operating rules of that world, they become creatures called "familiars".

As embodiments of rules, "familiars" are more like deities in nature.

However, it's only similar!

There are still many differences.

P.S.: Regarding the settings of the familiars, if they differ from the original work, then consider them as secondary settings by the author. All settings are based on this book.

Chapter 101: Nayuki-chan: Opening Up a New Perspective (Relaxing)

The most obvious thing is that familiars don't have much intelligence; they are more driven by biological instincts, which is why they are called "beasts."

While the world of familiars and the original world of Strike the Blood are said to be merged, how can a broken world compare to a complete world?

Moreover, the world where the familiars reside is in a state where even its very origin is shattered.

Therefore, what is called integration is actually just a one-sided absorption.

As an active rule, if the world of familiars is completely integrated into the world of Bloodthirsty Frenzy, the familiars living in this broken alien world will also be digested and return to their original form as the rules of the world.

Although familiars do not possess much intelligence, as long as they are creatures with self-awareness, they naturally have the instinct to survive.

The way for familiars to survive is quite simple: they must go to the world of Strike the Blood and become creatures of that world.

However, creatures from other worlds, once they enter the interior of the world, will naturally be rejected by the world unless they have a power beyond the world to help conceal them or they have their own way of dealing with it.

Especially creatures like familiars, which are governed by rules, are extremely conspicuous in the world.

Therefore, in order to survive in the world of Strike the Blood, familiars naturally need a host to become their anchor in this world and provide them with the corresponding life force and magic power to maintain their existence and movement.

They, in turn, follow the host's instructions and exert corresponding power.

And this is the relationship between vampire familiars.

Yahweh's explanation wasn't simply to explain the true nature of familiars to Nangong Nayue...

"After analyzing the rules of this world, I have a general understanding of the essence of the Beast World and the way the two worlds merge..."

The key was that the information obtained from the complete twelve Fourth Ancestors pushed Yahweh to the final step; otherwise, it would probably have taken him a while longer to reach his current level.

"...I want to go see that world."

Yahweh finally revealed his purpose.

He had a vague premonition that this "world of familiars" might be very important to him.

"What does this have to do with... my pact with the demon?"

Nangong Nayue was somewhat puzzled by Yahweh's words.

"Does Nazuki-chan know the true nature of a demon?"

"Nature?"

“That’s right, in fact… the true nature of demons and their familiars…”

"...There's no difference!"

That's right, demons, like their familiars, are living beings governed by rules.

However, the spirituality of the fused demons is stronger, and therefore their intellect is also stronger.

Unlike the familiars that choose to enter the world of Strike the Blood, the demons choose to form a contract.

Entering the world of Strike the Blood can avoid the fate of being digested, but traversing worlds will diminish the power of your familiars.

In fact, True Ancestor-level familiars are essentially fourth-order deities who have mastered the complete rules.

It was the wear and tear from traversing different worlds that turned them into pseudo-fourth-tier beings, rendering their mastery of rules incomplete and posing a risk of their hosts' death...

The demons, on the other hand, are much more sophisticated. They use witches like Nangong Nayue as anchors to transfer their power to this world, and then gradually gain the recognition of the Strike the Blood world through a series of steps.

This way, not only will the force not be worn down, but there will also be no risk.

"I want to use the fluctuations at the time of breaking the contract as coordinates to travel to that world."

He said.

"And you can use this to break free from the demon's shackles."

"How about it? Pretty good deal, right?"

"...Is this the reason you want me to break my pact with the demon?"

After listening to Yahweh's story, Nangong Nayue felt inexplicably lost.

She thought...

"Is Natsuki-chan disappointed?"

Yahweh immediately saw through the witch's thoughts and said this in a somewhat teasing tone.

"I actually did it for another world..."

"...not to rescue Nazuki-chan from this prison."

"...What nonsense are you talking about!"

When Yahweh voiced a thought that she herself was not even fully aware of, Nangong Nayue's cheeks flushed instantly, and she hurriedly tried to explain.

"I...I didn't have such thoughts!"

"But that's what I think!"

"Eh?"

Yahweh's words caused the witch's expression to stiffen slightly.
