Anime Crossover: Unparalleled Comprehension, Shocking the Star God

After thinking for two seconds, Vereslana chose to give up.

As a master at slaying gods, divinity was the best answer he could think of.

"Putting aside the special case of the god-slayer for now, how much do you, as a god, know about divinity?"

Su Mo did not press the matter further and shifted the topic to divinity.

Upon hearing this, Vereslana broke into a hearty smile.

"If you ask me about the techniques for severing divine essence, I know a lot about them."

"What if I asked about the physical or mystical structure of divinity?"

"I don't understand at all!"

This answer was decisive and to the point.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo expressed his confusion.

"As a deity, don't you ever want to understand your own structure?"

"Do humans ever study how their own brains think?"

Vereslana asked a counter-question.

"Of course, the human brain is generally divided into three parts: the reptilian brain, the emotional brain, and the rational brain, which respectively control instincts, emotions, and logical thinking... and these three brains are structures that have evolved for survival and reproduction."

Su Mo gave a brief explanation of the science.

"..."

Vereslana was speechless for a moment.

"Humans of this era are truly strange; isn't this a denial of the existence of free will?"

"No! This is exploring the boundaries of free will. Rather, the truly strange ones are you gods, aren't they?"

Su Mo gave him a slightly bewildered look.

"No matter how weak humanity is, it has gradually evolved into an industrial society over thousands of years. Your gods have made no progress over these thousands of years except for the change of myths."

"With such immense power, such a transcendent life form, and an almost infinite lifespan, why do you never explore your own existence? Don't you even have the most basic curiosity?"

At this point, Su Mo took a slight breath and then asked his biggest question.

"Don't you gods ever think?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Vereslana fell completely silent.

He wanted to open his mouth and say something to uphold the dignity of the gods, but when the words reached his lips, he didn't know what to say.

Even he himself was beginning to doubt God's existence.

Could it be that all the gods are really idiots?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the chat group, even the legendary god was rendered speechless by Su Mo's question.

Instead of gloating, the people in the group felt a deep sense of sympathy.

[Rin Tohsaka: "So, it's not just us; even the legendary gods are no different from monkeys in Lord Su Mo's eyes!"]

[Rin Tohsaka: "Suddenly I feel psychologically balanced."]

[Kanae: "Mental balance +1."]

[Xiaoyuan: "Psychological balance +1."]

[Xiaoyuan: "Actually, Big Brother treats us much better than he treats the gods."]

Rin Tohsaka: "Indeed!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Thank you."

Kanae: "Thank you."

Erica: "Thank you."

018 What significance can mere human techniques possibly hold?

Vereslana was naturally unaware of the teasing and sympathy expressed by the people in the chat group.

He did admit that he couldn't answer Su Mo's question.

Compared to humans who constantly explore themselves and push their limits, the general behavior of gods seems somewhat unambitious, with few people thinking about surpassing existing limits.

Although being rendered speechless by mere humans seems to damage the dignity of a god.

Yet he maintained his divine composure and did not become angry.

Not only that, he also revealed a pleased smile.

"Language is light, language is sword. As a god, I must praise your eloquence. Your words are sharper than swords, even the gods may not be able to match them."

As a god who was naturally adept at manipulating language, he readily acknowledged Su Mo's advantage.

Then, he changed the subject.

"However, thinking and reflection are matters for the god of wisdom to consider! For the god of war, the only thing to consider is victory."

As he said this, the smile on his lips became much sharper, and he looked eager to try.

"How about it? Would you like to experience the power of the gods for yourself?"

The ever-increasing momentum and the constantly accumulating divine power clearly indicated that they were ready for battle.

"If you can't win an argument, are you planning to solve the problem with force?"

Su Mo asked calmly.

"Even when you're just facing humans, are you this competitive?"

"There's nothing I can do, I'm the god of victory!"

Vereslana shrugged easily, and unlike when they were communicating before, his eyes were noticeably more pleased when facing the battle.

"My purpose in descending to the mortal realm this time is to seek defeat. Although I feel somewhat sorry for my previous opponents, I'll let God-King Mekal wait for now. I think fighting you will be much more interesting!"

When the name Mekal the God-King was mentioned, Veleslana's face lit up with a childlike, lingering enthusiasm.

This time, there were not one, but two disobedient gods descending.

Previously, during his battle with the disobedient Mekal, his divine core was shattered by the opponent's divine artifact, which caused his avatars to scatter to various places and transform into all sorts of strange divine beasts.

The battle between the two disobedient gods is not over yet; it can only be described as a halftime break. It is not appropriate to change opponents at this time.

But being greedy, he obviously didn't want to let go of such an interesting human, so he planned to settle the score with Su Mo first.

Seeing that Su Mo did not show any sign of refusal, Vereslana's smile deepened.

"If you can defeat me, you can become a god-slayer and study godhood up close. You wouldn't want to miss such a good opportunity, would you?"

Eager for battle, he directly tempted Su Mo with the spoils of war.

This kind of low-level trick, naturally... is actually quite effective.

Su Mo did want to study the structure of the divine essence up close, and wanted to figure out exactly where the so-called gods were so powerful.

Disobedient gods obviously wouldn't want to become obedient experimental subjects. The simplest way to study divinity is to first become a god-killer.

Therefore, he would not refuse the other party's invitation.

only--

"I don't mind communicating through battle. However, let's wait until you've gathered all your avatars before we fight!"

Su Mo spoke in this way.

"That way, it will be easier for me to obtain full power, so that I won't have to take it back from all over the place later."

Based on his understanding of the original work, killing a disobedient god who has no power to resist would not seem to be rewarded with authority.

Although the conditions for killing a disobedient god for the first time will certainly be much more lenient, it is still more worthwhile to wait for the opponent to recover its full strength in order to maximize the benefits.

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Vereslana was slightly taken aback.

Before the battle even begins, they're already thinking about the spoils of victory.

He had never seen anyone so confident before, someone who could be so arrogant in the face of a genuine deity.

Are all people this brave nowadays?

"If this is what you're looking for, no problem."

Out of basic respect for his opponent, Vereslana did not refuse the request.

The divine beast boar that had been slain earlier returned to him. He only had one avatar left to reclaim, which wouldn't be long.

However, the fact that he, as a god, had to be fully prepared and could only fight humans after recovering to his full strength made him feel very awkward.

So, after thinking about it, Vereslana added a sentence.

"You dare to challenge a god with a mere human body? I acknowledge your courage! To be fair, since you're willing to wait for me to regain my full strength, I'm also willing to let you prepare for battle in advance. What do you say?"

It would be too embarrassing to say that a battle between gods and humans requires them to be fully healed before it can begin.

He felt that Su Mo should be given a slight advantage in order to maintain balance.

"you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo, who didn't have any particular insistence on fair duels, confirmed it with a slightly surprised tone.

"Of course!"

Vereslana said firmly.

"If you don't even have this much leeway, what right do you have to hold the position of a military genius?"

Even if this battle wasn't a crushing defeat for humanity by the gods, what difference would it make if Su Mo had a few minutes to prepare? What could he possibly do?

Ultimately, it's just a human technique. No matter how much preparation is done, it's all useless effort that can be easily broken by the gods. What's the point?
