If human thoughts create gods, then all that's needed is to create an even more powerful god.

Shiba Heihachi was working hard towards this ambitious plan and firmly believed that he could succeed.

Of course, it was only him.

Friedrich did not believe his goal had any chance of success; he simply wanted to study the gods through the feat of creating an artificial one.

Even Yakumo, who was secretly observing him, never had any expectations of him.

Chapter 275 Common Interests

"How are you thinking about it?"

Before he knew it, Friedrich's cigarette had burned out completely, leaving only wisps of smoke in the air.

This dialogue was not an equal negotiation.

Before it even started, everything about Shiba Heihachi was completely exposed by the other party.

His life, his resume, his thoughts and his interpersonal relationships were all thoroughly exposed by the other party.

Conversely, he knew nothing about the other party except that they were a financial tycoon from across the ocean.

If he doesn't agree, the other party might sell all the information to the next business partner.

However, being controlled by such arrogant foreigners of unknown origin is no different from politicians who submit to the shrine.

Such treasonous behavior was something that Shiba Heihachi's integrity forbade him to do.

Then

Shiba Heihachi appeared to be deep in thought, but in reality, he glanced around the room out of the corner of his eye.

The group consisted of old men, women, and a few young people, but the greatest threat was actually the oldest, Friedrich.

He also had a pistol in the inner pocket of his trench coat. If he could quickly draw his gun and cooperate with Ichiro Yamauchi, the people inside would be no problem at all.

As for the impact of the other party's death here, Shiba Heihachi no longer cared about that.

But, is it possible that the other party has something to rely on, since they met with him so unguarded?

Shiba Heihachi hesitated for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Yamauchi Ichiro.

The bald man looked confused, touching his hairless head.

Damn it, this piece of trash is useless in a situation where he can only fool people!

"Haven't you made up your mind yet, Mr. Shiba?"

Friedrich stood up and walked towards him.

The scales in Shiba Heihachi's mind were constantly swaying; this was the perfect opportunity to make a move.

"I am actually Germanic."

Friedrich's sudden remark stunned Shiba Heihachi.

What does this mean? What's the significance of mentioning that he was Germanic at this point?

“I once served the Third Reich, but now I live in America. I have more than a dozen different nationalities, all of which bear the name of Friedrich von Krogh.”

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"What I mean is, Colonel, what is the basis for determining who a person is, and for what reason?"

Friedrich did not approach Shiba Heihachi, but instead turned his back to him and poured himself a cup of coffee that Dana had just made.

Is it nationality? Or a certificate? Or perhaps a blood relationship?

"Colonel, if your deeds are exposed, you will likely be charged with treason or war crimes. Not only will you be stripped of your citizenship, but you will also be stripped of your human rights. Does that mean you will no longer be a Japanese, no longer a human being?"

"of course not!"

Even knowing he would be convicted of such a crime, Shiba Heihachi believed that he was doing his best for the country and had no selfish motives whatsoever.

"Very good. It seems that Colonel's sincerity is very genuine."

Friedrich just smiled nostalgically.

"But I'm different. I'm past that age. I've lived in many countries, and I've experienced different races, nationalities, and faiths. I've already..."

I don't care anymore. The older I get, the more accepting I become of these things.

"You're worried about becoming my puppet, but I'm just a pure researcher now. I'm too lazy to think about things like countries and politics."

Friedrich casually relayed Shiba Heihachi's concerns and then walked behind him.

"Rest assured, I have absolutely no interest in your political demands. Our cooperation is solely focused on creating an artificial god."

"Apart from that, I will not interfere with what you want to do with this. Our cooperation is purely technical cooperation. You provide the materials and information, and I am responsible for the research and funding. It's that simple."

"Let's put down our guns and talk to each other in a civilized way, instead of barbaric."

After a moment of silence, Shiba Heihachi took out his pistol and placed it on the table, indicating that he accepted the terms of cooperation.

"Very good, we can finally get to the point."

Friedrich's delight was palpable, and he snapped his fingers.

"I'm sure the specific contract terms are meaningless to you, so let's get practical."

A black card was pushed in front of Shiba Heihachi. It was obvious that it contained a huge amount of money that he would never see in his entire life, which he could use at his own expense.

A brazier had been lit inside the room at some point, and all the investigation and information about him were easily burned in the brazier.

“From now on, no one will know where you are or what you are doing. Your traces on the internet will be completely erased, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department will not be able to find any clues about you.”

"Don't worry about weapons and manpower. Everything you need is docked on the high seas closest to Tokyo."

Friedrich immediately provided a wealth of resources and assistance, and the problems that had been troubling him were resolved in an instant.

"Alright, I've shown my sincerity. Now it's your turn, Colonel."

Wearing glasses, Friedrich and his students stared intently at Shiba Heihachi.

"I need basic information about Yingzhou mysticism, as well as the entirety of your plan: principles, objectives, experimental materials, and so on. I need it all."

After decades of hunger for knowledge, Friedrich finally found a restaurant where he could have a full meal, and his eyes shone with longing.

"this..."

Shiba Heihachi himself was a complete novice when it came to the mystical, so how could he have such information and such?

However, this was within Friedrich's expectations.

"It's alright. Even if you don't understand, Colonel, you know who does, don't you?"

Friedrich pushed up his glasses, revealing an expression that Shiba Heihachi knew all too well.

Like hyenas or gray wolves on the grasslands, they had a frenzied expression as they wanted to devour these things completely.

What kind of civilization is this? This guy is capable of anything, he's a madman!

Even if he has many thoughts now, it's too late to regret it. Shiba Heihachi has completely boarded the other party's crazy chariot.

"I understand. I will share everything I know with you."

Shiba Heihachi nodded. In that case, they had no choice but to give it a try.

Those servile and traitorous nobles were all sent to the execution ground by firing squad.

The moment the cooperation was reached, Shiba Heihachi seemed to hear a familiar laugh echoing in his ears from the void.

Chapter 276 Trust Relationship

Inside the shrine.

Ogasawara Yoriko was so eager to kill that she couldn't wait any longer. After obtaining permission from the shrine, she quickly left with Kuga Hikaru.

I don't know why Kuga ran so fast. Doesn't she know that the shrine maiden basically doesn't eat the same piece of cake repeatedly?

Hmph, she's really judging a gentleman by a woman's standards, but the Divine Palace won't stoop to her level.

Jingu will disassemble each of the spoils he obtained from the CM event, preparing to examine them carefully.

Today the weather is fine and sunny. Although a few things happened that didn't quite do anything to spoil the view, they didn't dampen the spirits of the shrine.

Sitting in the courtyard, today the shrine will enjoy a good time of reading and tea under this fine weather, and see what good things C102 has to offer.

The first thing I saw was a loli, a teacher, a baby, and a tight-fitting school swimsuit.

it is good!

Although I don't like lolis, I have to say this book is of very high quality.

I was just about to take a sip of tea to calm myself down when I found the cup was empty.

"Is nobody here? Narukami? Yagokoro? Ai?"

Three names were called in succession, but no one answered. It wasn't until a while later that someone came out of the room.

"What are you shouting for? They went out to buy things, making such a racket, can't a person get any sleep?"

Yawning, Kaguya, who had stayed up all night playing games, stumbled out of the house.

"Which woman did you go with last night? You didn't come back all night."

Of course, this isn't meant to be resentful or represent anything; it's just a casual question.

"Ah, you've woken up just in time. Quick, go brew me a pot of tea, add seven or eight parts love and three parts hate, cut off your hair, and use your little mouth as the teapot."

Kaguya was speechless after hearing his somewhat perverse and grotesque remarks.

"What exactly do you want to drink? It's disgusting, can't you be normal for once?"

"Even if it's normal tea, you wouldn't brew it, so brewing something a little weird is more realistic."

He placed the teacup on the table, pointed casually, and a stream of water leaped from the spring in the courtyard, falling precisely into the cup.

"Alright, now cut off your hair, stir it with your tongue, and a cup of Kaguya tea is ready."

He extended a sincere invitation to Kaguya, only to be met with a cold shoulder from her.

"Get out of here! Do you think my whole self consists only of my tongue and hair?"
